Stephen Scheeler: Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand on whether parental controls are the way forward for social media
from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
Following the launch of Australia's ban on social media for under-16s, there's been debate over whether New Zealand should follow this example. Meta's Global Head of Safety, Antigone Davis, has labelled the full ban a 'fool's errand' and claims parental controls are the way to go. Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand Stephen Scheeler says parental controls are a safety feature that should be considered - but it won't solve the wider problem. "I don't think it's a total solution, but I think it is another tool in the toolkit." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
